What is a Note Pack?

With our Note Packs your students are able to enjoy the same Research Guide and activities as our Lapbook products without the cutting and pasting. We provide students with fun, educational notebooking pages for them to answer all their activities into. These can be simply 3-hole punched and added to any binder.

These are perfect for older students who like to add more research and information into their studies.

Perfect for family studies when all the kids want to work together on one project yet make it their own.

What's Included?

Each unit starts with a Table of Contents and is followed by a Planning Guide. We've taken all the guesswork and prep work out of our products, they are mom and teacher friendly. We recommend vocabulary words, guided reading, and activities to complete each day, follow our plan or create your own.

Next, you will find a Research Guide. The Research Guide contains all of the lessons needed to complete the activities laid out in a chapter-like format. This format helps to build students' listening, reading, and comprehension skills. Included in the Research Guide is a Bibliography, which also makes a great resource for finding information for any rabbit trails you may choose to follow during your study. Related books and websites are included in the Research Guide.

Next, you will find a list of core concepts to be covered during the study, each of the concepts is represented by notebooking graphic specific to the question. Each graphic organizer or template helps students take bite-sized pieces of information learned in the Research Guide to complete a hands-on activity to help retain that information. If you implement graded assignments in your curriculum, the list of concepts will be essential for you, the parent/teacher, to know what to test the student on.

Reproducible notebooking pages follow. You will want to make a copy of each graphic for each student completing the unit.

At the end you will find a complete answer key, just reinforcing our easy to use format.

Project Packs from In the Hands of a Child make great stand-alone unit studies or can easily be added as a supplement to an existing curriculum. When using as a stand-alone product, we recommend completing 2 - 3 activities per session (30 - 45 minutes). Start by reading through 2 - 3 sections of the Research Guide and then complete the corresponding hands-on activities. The hands-on activities correlate to each section in the Research Guide.

This is an excellent reinforcement tool to use with your student before, during or after your studies on Ancient Greece. There are guided reading pages and then the student can notebook the answers. Good for comprehension also. Nice overview of Anci [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
